How to Quit Smoking

Have an urge to smoke? Instead of puffing on that cancer stick, try chewing on a cinnamon stick.

In a 5-day plan to quit smoking designed in 1964 which received recognition from the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society and even the World Health Organisation, chewing on cinnamon sticks or small pieces of cinnamon several times a day was recommended.

Cinnamon has a strong taste and spicy aroma which suppress the urge to smoke. And it comes with essential nutrients such as vitamins, protein, sodium, thiamine, phosphorus and calcium. Studies also indicate that cinnamon may have protective effects against cancer, an added health bonus!

This natural anti-cancer stick is a helpful replacement to replicate the hand-to-mouth action of smoking. To kick the butt and stick with it, reach for a cinnamon stick.

NOTE: Use Ceylon cinnamon instead of Cassia cinnamon as Cassia cinnamon has a higher amount of coumarin that may lead to liver toxicity when taken in large amounts in the long term.
